In Mississauga , Ontario there is an establishment of houses called Lorne Park Homes. This subdivision of homes was originally created as a resort by the Canadian government, and show case some of the best pot-lights installations. These are very desirable homes for many reasons including their use of pot lighting techniques and landscaping work. Pot-lights can add a great value to your home.

Mississauga Pot Lights make great accent lighting near a painting or portrait in the living room or family room of a home. Many contractors or home builders use the pot lights along the outer areas of a room to bring light into the center of the space. The pot lights come in several different styles, there are those that look like a cook's deep pot hanging from a sting or electrical wire and could be used above a table or breakfast bar area. There are other pot lights that are recessed and remain flush with the ceiling but the bulb inside is able to tilt to direct the light.  

Many of the recessed pot lights will direct light on an item or area approximately 9 feet out from the bulb in a triangular shape. The farther out the light travels, the weaker it becomes. The light on the outer edges of this triangular shape is soft-focus and merely enhances the rest of the light and what it is positioned on.

Some homeowners have taken to installing pot lights outside the home, under the eves to help illuminate the home at night for better protection against burglaries and accidents that sometimes happen in the dark. These pot lights could be placed on a timer or hooked up to a sensor that allows them to go on and off as people approach the house. If a homeowner opts for this as a safety feature, they should check with their homeowners insurance because they could receive a discount for adding a safety enhancement to their property.

Mississauga Pot Light fixtures, the recessed ceiling style, come in 6-inch and 4-inch. What is easy to remember is that the 4-inch pot lights should be placed 4 feet apart and the 6-inch pot light fixtures should be placed 6 feet apart. Do not put too many pot lights in a room or it will defeat the purpose of gently illuminating the room or object the light is trained on. Do not put to few pot lights in a room, such as a single row down the middle of the room, because then there will not be enough light and this will be a distraction from the other décor. A row on opposite walls, at the ceiling, is ideal.    

Pot lights need to be installed professionally if a homeowner is at all concerned about what they are attempting to do. A professional electrical contractor will know where to drill the hole for the wires and make an opening for the pot light canister because they will have studied load-bearing walls and ceilings. This means that the beams are what help to hold up the house.
